Retreat Guests - Main Dining (Edge-Class)

[Bask]

Hello:

 

Can Retreat guests randomly show up to dine at Tuscan, Cosmopolitan, Normandie etc...like Luminae or is a prior reservation or notice required?

If advance notice/res required, what is the process?

 

Thanks very much.

[Dar & Bob]

Yes, it was not problem

We always inform the maitre d in Luminae, if we wont be dining their for dinner.

Because you don’t have an MDR table assignment m  hmmmmmm it is always best to coordinate this with the Luminae staff who can Find out when and where the MDR can fit you in

Yes just use anytime dining.  You might have to wait in a short line.

DH and I went to Luminae maybe twice and then Normandy and Cosmopolitan the remaining four nights and had no problem at all. Never waited to be sat but we went between 7:00 and 7:30. We didn't coordinate with anyone that we'd be dining in one of the MDRs.

When was this? How full was the ship?  Back when the ships were carrying less than full capacity there were fewer problems with possible overcrowding.  
 

The issue with just showing up at the main dining room is that they can’t balance the load by sending someone from there into luminae to take your place.

 

and if yiu have been sitting at the same table in Luminae but don’t show up, they don’t know if you are just running late or aren’t coming at all.  So it’s always a good idea to keep them informed

On our last Beyond Tour (~2500 Pax) we went to

 

Raw on 5,

Fine Cut,

Eden,

Luminae,

Luminae,

Blue,

Fine Cut and

Cyprus.

 

We had reservations for the speciality Restaurants (pre Cruise offerings), but not for the others. We never had any problems by just stepping in. 

 

If your ship is fully booked or if your time is just the peak time of all others, your Butler or Retreat concierge will be happy to assist. 😉

Yes you can stray....

On BEYOND We had  res at Raw on 5...it was excellent. No ine missdd us at Luminae.

 

After a few trips to Luminae,  which was just so so, we bailed out  and went to BLU`( early) one night.  They welcomed us in.....

 

Great service, great fresh food,  pre dinner speads, bread basket on table, shrimp that was not limp.. Light and bright venue with good views.  Next cruise, we booked AQ class/ BLU!
